2) Fill each of the holes in the top of the battery with battery acid up to the upper level mark on the front of the battery (do not replace the yellow stoppers yet)
3) Charge the battery for at least 4 to 6 hours (preferably overnight) with a Motorcycle Battery Charger

Maintenance Free or Sealed Type Motorbike Batteries

Sealed maintenance free

1) Remove the packing & remove the tin foil strip from the top of the battery. Remove the battery acid pack(s) from the plastic bag but DO NOT remove the foil from the top of the acid packs.
2) Invert the acid pack into the top of the battery so the foil covered tops of the acid packs are covering the holes in the top of the battery. Press the acid pack down firmly into the holes in the battery (a series of spikes inside the battery holes will pierce the foil & let the acid out). Gently tap the acid packs until all the acid has gone into the battery. Sealed batteries come with 1 or 2 acid packs, use all the acid that comes with the battery as this provides the required amount to fill the battery.
3) Leave the battery to settle for 1 hour
4) Place the plastic strip into the holes on the top of the battery & press firmly into place until the plastic strip fits flush with the top of the battery.
5) Charge the battery for at least 4 to 6 hours (preferably overnight) with a Motorcycle Battery Charger
6) Disconnect the battery from the battery charger.
7) The battery is now filled & charged & ready for use (when connecting to a motorbike/scooter, always connect the positive (+) terminal first)
